2. Washing
If you were one of those kids who grew up with their parents having to constantly remind them of the need to wash, this potential trigger of trigeminal neuralgia might not concern you too much, as you can pretty much get away without washing your face justifiably.
All jokes aside, a person who finds their symptoms and pain to be triggered by washing will probably have to change the way in which they wash their face or change the products they use for this process. Every step of the face washing process is potentially problematic, from the application of water, whether it’s cold or hot, to the scrubbing and wiping actions of removing dirt, right through to exfoliation, which can actually be the biggest potential trigger found in the whole washing process.
Now, simply not washing just really isn’t an option for the vast majority of people, thankfully, but if it’s washing that triggers your trigeminal neuralgia, you simply have to work out what type of washing you can get away with.
